The temperature dependence of inelastic light scattering from small particles for use in combustion diagnostic instrumentation

A computer calculation of the expected angular distribution of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) from micrometer size polystyrene spheres based on a Mie-type model, and a pilot experiment to test the feasibility of measuring CARS angular distributions from micrometer size polystyrene spheres by simply suspending them in water are discussed. The computer calculations predict a very interesting structure in the angular distributions that depends strongly on the size and relative refractive index of the spheres.

Pressure and temperature dependences of the reaction of OH with nitric acid

Rate constants for the reaction of OH with HNO3 have been measured by using a laser flash photolysis resonance absorption technique at 298 and 248 K in the presence of 10-730 Torr of He, N2, and SF6. A dependence on total pressure was observed with rate constant values increasing at 298 K from 1.11 x 10 to the -13th cu cm/molecule/s at 10 Torr to 1.45 x 10 to the -13th cu cm/molecule/s at 730 Torr, and at 248 K from 1.87 x 10 to the -13th cu cm/molecule/s at 10 Torr to 3.07 x 10 to the -13th cu cm/molecule/s at 730 Torr with helium as the diluent gas. Falloff behavior occurred at lower pressures with SF6 or N2 as the diluent gas. Extrapolated zero pressure rate constants were determined and correspond to an Arrhenius activation energy of E/R = -710 K.

Temperature dependence of the NO3 absorption spectrum

The absorption spectrum of the gas-phase NO3 radical has been studied between 220 and 700 nm by using both flash photolysis and discharge flow reactors for the production of NO3. In the flash photolysis method, cross sections at the peak of the (0,0) band at 661.9 nm were measured relative to the cross section of ClONO2 at several different wavelengths. From the best current measurements of the ClONO2 spectrum, the NO3 cross section at 661.9 nm was determined to be (2.28 + or 0.34) x 10 to the -17th sq cm/molecule at 298 K. Measurements at 230 K indicated that the cross section increases by a factor of 1.18 at the peak of the (0,0) band. The discharge flow method was used both to obtain absolute cross sections at 661.9 nm and to obtain relative absorption spectra between 300 and 700 nm at 298 and 230 K. A value of (1.83 + or - 0.27) x 10 to the -17th sq cm/molecule was obtained for sigma NO3 at 661.9 nm at 298 K. Upper limits to the NO3 cross sections were also measured between 220 and 260 nm with the discharge flow method.
